It’s been a different school year as we all know. Our 6th grade Science Fair projects still went on. One difference was students could send me a video or send me pictures of them doing the presentation. The families then send me a rubric of how they scored their child. It’s great seeing how they are doing. It’s sad cause I don’t get to see them and discuss what they learned. Looking forward to seeing others come in.
